I heard this was the only Asian Fusion restaurant in the Netherlands to receive a Michelin star, so…read morewe came here to celebrate my father in-law's birthday. The decor and service was very top-notch, it definitely deserved that star (unlike Koriander in Drachten). The food was definitely an interesting mix of Asian and French cuisines and all the combinations were pleasingly tasty and innovative.
Food: 5/5
We took the 5 course chef's menu and unfortunately I forgot to write down the various dishes. However, everything was fresh, delicious and with many interesting compositions. One thing I really liked was that there was very limited amounts of seasoning and that allowed the freshness of the food's natural flavors to come out. The highlight of the meal was definitely the bone marrow. It may seem quite intimidating because it is served in the bone, but it was amazingly flavorful and tender.
One thing I liked was that you can do a wine pairing per glass. Which means that you can choose which dishes you wanted a wine to drink with. This also meant that you didn't have to commit to a whole wine tasting (which is difficult for me because I'm a light weight and can't drink much).
Service: 4/5
The staff was excellent and came around visiting our table, making sure we had enough water, wine and explaining all the dishes. Their wine sommelier is also amazing and recommended good wines that paired well with the dishes. For example, one wine paired with the venison tasted different before and after eating the meat.
Atmosphere: 4/5
The decor exudes a luxe atmosphere and the decor is a very pretty understated Asian theme. (No tacky dragons - thank goodness...)
Value: 4/5
A 5 course chef's menu was €57. It certainly isn't cheap, but the food was very tasty and well worth the money.
